THE CHANGELING
By Jmii Ruitell Lowell
On Feb. 2, 1860, Rose, the seven-months-old daughter of the poet Lowell,
died. When another daughter was born to him afterward he called the
second "The Changeling.', In his poem, "The First Snowfall," the poet
writes of this second daughter:
Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed hef,
And she. kissing back, could not know
That my kiss, was given to her sister,
Folded close under deepening snow. ;
"4
HAD a little daughter, '
And she was given to me
To lead me gently backward
To the Heavenly Father's knee,
That I, by the force of nature,
Might in some dim wise divine
The depths of his infinite patience
To this wayward soul of mine.
I know not how others saw her.
But to me she was wholly fair,
And the light of the heaven she cam
, v from - '
" Still lingered and gleamed in her
:) hair; '
For It was as wavy end golden,
And as many changes took,
As the shadows of sun-gilt ripples
On the yellow bed of a brook.
To what can I liken her smiling.
upon me, ner Kneeling lover,
How ft leaped from her lips to her
:i ' r eyelids, ,
, And dimpled her wholly over,
Till her outstretched hands smiled also,
And I almost seemed to see
The-very heart of her mother '
Sending sun through her veins to me!
Or perhaps those heavenly Zlngari
But loosed the hampering strings,
. And when they had opened her cage-
'door, "
: My little bird used her wings.
But they left in her stead a change

A little angel child.
That seems like her bud in full blos
som, And smiles as she never smiled: ,
When I wake in the morning. 1 see It
Where she always used to lie,
And I feel as weak as a violet
Alone 'neath the awful sky.
As weak, yet as trustful also;
For the whole year lonsr I see
All the wonders of faithful Nature,
Still worked for the love of me:
Winds wander, and dews drip earth-
ward, -Rain
falls, suns rise and set,
Earth whirls, and all but to prosper
A poor little violet.

This child is -not mine as the first. was;
I cannot sins? it to rpst T

Uncle Jse Settles the Quettion
With a Tele of Unci 5pltzcr.
TJ LI'S Sam got up so Buddent from,
jTj the shoebox where he had be4n
icetiln' 'that he almost knocked Uncle
Jase out o the three-leggd cheer whera
he sot, and he says, sort o as If he was
mad,, and sort o' as if he was goln to
take Uncle Jase by the neck:
"'I've always believed they'd do it,'
says be, 'and I've alwayB stuck to it and
argyfled the strongest kind that they'd
do it, says he, 'but I see now that they
won't, and take it all back!' says he.
"I had always stood up ag'in Eli's Sam
sayin' that they would do it, 'cause I
thought I knowed 'em Toout as well as
the nxt feller, havin' trapped 'em and
shot, 'em and had rough and tumbles
with ?em, up hill and down dale, helter
skelter through the scrub, and ker-sploshity-splosh
knee deep across the
swamps, fer more than 40 year, and
they hadn't never done it to me, and I
never knowed o' their doin it to any
one else, so I always stood up ag'in Eli's
Sam on his p'int that they would doit,
but he stuck to it like a woodtick to
a y oiler coon dog. And he was doin'
of 'it this time, over to the Eddy, settln'
on the shoebox and layin of his argy
fyln' down fer sartin.
" 'Do it?' says he. 'Why, sure as pow
der they'll do it! Every time they git the
chance. " Bears don't like nothin better
than to, chaw a man fer dinner, bears
don't,' , says he. 'Do . it?" says he. 0'
course' they'll do it!'
" 'Pish!' says I. 'Bears won't do it!
Bears won't eat a man no. more than I
will!' says I.
"'They won't, hey? says Uncle Jase.
'Well,' says he, takin' somethin' outen
his pocket and holdln': it up betwixt his
fingers. 'Here's somethin' that says
they will, Dan'l, says he. 'Tain'tnothin'
but a button a shiny brass button
but it's primy fishy evidence that they'll
do it,' says he,
J'Eli's Sam he brightened up and
locked at me as if he was sorry fer
me, and he says: 1
" 'Aha!' says he. 'How did you come
to git it, Uncle Jase?' says he. I
" 'That button,' says Uncle Jase, 'was
on the sojer coat o my, old pap's Uncle
Spltzer when he come over here with
the Britishers ,to fight ag'in us fellers
time o' the revolution. Uncle Spitzer
was always sorry he fit on t'other side,
and he said he'd never a done it if he'd
only had an inklin o' what nice folks
we was over here, and so when he came
up after the war and settled in the Knob
country folks took sech a likin' to him
that they never said nothin' ag'in his
wearW that sojer coat o' his'n with the
brass buttons on it. And this here is
one o' 'em.'.
"Uncle Jase had been talking slower
and slower and lower and lower, all the
time a wlgglln' and keepin' hiaeyes onto
Simon, and then he shet up suddent and
with a snap. Then me and Eli's Sam
looked over to Simon, and we see he had
got up and was fastenin' the klver down
on the'-pail o' loose chawin' that al
ways sets on the counter, and it looked
to us as if he had remembered that Uncle
Jase always got sort o absent minded
when he begun to make history, and
seemed, to forgit that the terbacker
wasn't there, like almanacs, to help his
self .to. . ; ; . .
"So when we see Simon fastenin' of
the kiver on to the pail o' loose chawin'
we knowed that Uncle Jase . 'd be dis
couraged,, and that the history o that
sojer button 'd mofe than likely be lost.
As fer me, I didn't care so much, fer
I wasn't lookln' fer no evidence ag'in
my argyfyin' that bears wouldn't do it.
but Eli's Sam he was disapp'lnted, and
he hauls out his new plug o' sweet ter
backer and hands it to Uncle Jase and
says: .
" 'Have a chaw, Uncle Jase?'
"Uncle Jase bein' partie'larly fond o
sweet plug, he cheered up like the sun
comin' from behind a cloud, took an
amazln' chaw offen Eli's Sam's plug, and
started, right in to make historyv ag'in.
Then, o' course, his absent mindedness
took holt on him, and he stuck EU's Sam's
plug into his pocket. ,
" 'Yes, yes!' says he, 'when , Uncle
Spitzer come up after the war and set
tled in the Knob country, folks took
sech a likin' to him that they never said
nothin' ag'in-his wearln' that British
er sojer coat'o' his'n with the brass
buttons on it. Partic'larly they didn't
after he fetched in the wildcat and tf.ie
fox, one day. -
'' 'He wasn't out , after wildcat nor
fox, neither. He was jest trampin' the
woods with his eye peeled fer bear, but
bear didn't seem to care, to have him
git his eye on to 'em, and they laid low.
So he sot down on to a log and lit his
pipe, and was smokln' away, grinnin"
to think how skeert all the bears was of
him, and yit mad to know that they
was, when a big red fox come trottin'
out o' the bushes and went skitin' past
Uncle Spltzer like a streak o grease.
" 'Thinkin' that he mowt as well take
a fox skin home if he couldn't ,do no
better, Uncle Spltzer hauled up to put
a bullet into that one, when the fox got
behind a big chestnut tree and didn't
come out into sight ag'in. Uncle Spltzer
stepped round the tree to gtt a bead on
the fox and seen its brush disappearin'
round t'other side o' the tree. He fol
lered it on his tiptoes, and itfcep'goin'
on, and so save his pesky gizzard, as
Uncle Spltzer used to say, he couldn't
git nigher to that fox than to jest git a
glimpse o' that tail o' his'n whiskin
round the circle.
"'Uncle Spitzer broke into a stiff
run, but that didn't make a bit o'
difference. , The fox's tall kep' jest
ahead o' him. all the same. Then he
slowed down to a snail's pace, think
in' that the fox would come on and
overtake him. sure, not knowin' that
be had slowed down; but the sly old
chap wag so cute that he sized his
gait right down to Uncle Epitzer's,
and kep', that consarned tall o' his'n
jest ahead o' his nose, with not an
other speck o fox carcass to be aeen.
" 'Findin that he couldn't git a eight
at nothin' but the fox's tall by fol
lerin' of it that way. Uncle Spitzer
all of a suddent stopped square In hiB
tracks, turned, round and started back
In t'other direction, thinkin', o course,
thai ke'.U.UkQ itie. vJV chicken-stealexj
off his , guard and come face to face
with him. But he didn't. When Uncle
Spitzer turned and took the back
track, all he could see when be swung
round the circle was that same old
bushy tall trailln' along, and Jest
roundln' the corner ahead of him, as
usual.
'"Now, Uncle Spitzer had been cir
cleatln' the girt' ,o' that tree fer goln'
on to 20 minutes, and, havta' tramped
somethin' like 20 mile oer the hills
besides, he begun to feel his wind git
tin a leetle skeerce. Oonsekently, he
wasn't as gentle In his mind as a lamb
on the hillside, and he said that if he
could only a got his hands on to that
fox Jest at that minute he'd a' treated
him worse than Samson did that little
flock o foxes he ketched wunst on a
time, aa you mowt a' heerd about,
Dan'l, and tied blazin' pine knots to
their tails. While Uncle Spltzer stood
there a-cussin' like sojers will, he see
fer the first time a big holler place in
the tree, nigh the ground. He cot an
idee in a second.
" 'Chasin the fox round the tree two
or three times as fast as he could jump,
Uncle Spitzer flopped down and crep'
Into that holler place. The fox came
on, and as he was passin' the holler.
Uncle Spltzer shoved his gun bar'l out
like a flash, ketched the fox under the
belly, and give it a sweep up that sent
it flyin' clean amongst the . branches
o' the tree. Uncle Spitzer was out on
his feet in a second, and had a dead
aim on to the fox before he had time
to turn and drop back to'rds the
ground. ' . . '
"'As he d rawed bead on the fox in
the air he sees a tremendous big
wildcat ' scroochin on the limb of a
tree, right in range of his gun," and
not 20 foot away. The varmint was
all ready to, spring on Uncle Spltzer.
Uncle Spitzer had an idee that his bul
let would slosh clean through the fox
and pllnlc into the wildcat, too," and
he'd git 'em both without puttin his
self out any, and he whanged away.
"'Down come the f ok, deader than
a gate post, but the bullet" missed the
wildcat. Before Uncle Spitzer could
take his gun down to get another load
into it, the wildcat sprung for him. It
struck the end o' his gun bar'l with its
jaws wide open, and it, was goin' so
fast that the bar'l slid clean through
it, like strlngln a bead on a thread,
and Uncle Spitzer fetched it in strung
that way, draggin' the fox along by
its big brush. So if anyone ever had
any idee o' sayin anythin ag'in Un
cle Spltzer wearin' that Britisher sojer
coat o' his'n they never said it after he
fetched in that wildcat and that fox.
" 'Then by and by Uncle Spitzer took
to sayin' that there wasn't nothin' in
our woods no more that was worth any
body's while to. tackle, and he swore
reg'lar every fall that he'd never be
happy till he could git eom'rs where
he could run ag'n Hons or tigers or
somethin o' that sort. So. one fall,
when he didn't come home from goin'
out - a-huntin', pap and all of 'em
thought, of course, that he had pulled
out and gone to seek a country where
he could tackle lions and tigers.
" 'The next spring, though,: pap
knocked over a big bear down back o,
Dark swamp. So fur as anything
showed on the outside there - wasn't
nothin' about that bear any different
from any, other bear Just like it, but
no bear that ever was killed in the
Knob country or any other country
never had the somethin' in its inside
like this bear that pap killed that day
did.-.- ..v'-:.:.';.-. V
" 'When that bear was dressed they
picked 12 brass buttons out of its maw.
Twelve brass , sojer buttons. Uncle
Spltzer hadn't . gone away to the Hon
and tiger country, ' after all. He had
tackled this bear, and bit off more than
he could chaw. But the bear hadn't.
Uncle Spitzer and? his sojer coat had
digested all right, but them buttons
hadn't, and there they was. And this
button here is one of them. Her it
is, and if it ain't primy fishy evidence
that bears '11 do it, Dan'l, then produce
I your evidence that Uncle Spltzer went
away to git lions ana tigers ana wasn t
eat by the bear my pap killed,' says
Uncle Jase.
"That primy fishy evidence looked
for all the world like the buttons that
was on the oldblue army overcoat that
I v wore wunst, and I says to Uncle
Jase": '
" 'Why,' I says. 'How's this. Uncle
Jase? This old Britisher button has
got U. S. on to it, in big letters,' I says.
"'Course it has!' says Upcle Jase.
'It wouldn't be primy fishy evidence if
it hadn't,' says he. 'Uncle Spitzer was
a mighty careful man. Everything o'
his'n was marked with his initials,
even to his sojer buttons. There they
be, right before you, Dan'l. U. S.
Uncle Spitzer,' says he.
"Eli's Sam got up so suddent from
the shoe box that he almost knocked
Uncle Jase offen the three legged cheer,
and he says, sort as If he was disap
p'lnted and sort o' as if he was goin'
to take Uncle Jase by the neck:
"I've always believed it,' says he,
'and I've always stuck to it and argy
fled the strongest kind that they'd do
it,' says he, 'but I see now that they
won't, and I take it all back!' says he.
"I guess that tough and strong in
sinuation must a' doubled up on" Uncle
Jase's absent-mindedness, fer he sot
there half an hour, ohawin' on Eli's
Sam's sweet terbacker and sort o' grhi
nln', and then got up and went home
